A Nibbling Valentine Sweetheart… Flowers and Fangs @RebeccaJVickery @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
Enjoy a snippet from last week: Flowers and Fangs Chapter 2 #6
This week's snippet is another snippet from Flowers and Fang.
We're jumping ahead to Chapter 3 so you can meet Sloane.
Sloane has arrived home from work. She hasn't been feeling well and she's sure she caught the strange bug Tim's family is suffering from.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit.
********************************************************************
She'd known Tim since the fourth grade—their parents had been longtime friends—but she only recently started dating him. They hadn't even slept together yet, but the way Tim's hands slid over her body the other night, and the way he kissed her with teeth, tongue and lips, she'd been considering the tumble into bed. That is until he bit her neck, drawing blood. His impromptu hickey put a damper on the mood. He was apologetic, but remained on edge. If she didn't know better, she'd say he was strung out on drugs, but Tim was straight laced as they come. He didn't even take over the counter meds if he could help it.
He told her he thought he was coming down with something. Said his brother and sister were ill and had stayed home tucked in bed for a better part of a week.
Tim ended up going home early, which despite his weird behavior, she was disappointed.
*********************************************************************************
I'm sure Sloane would have preferred the flowers over the impromptu hickey. Especially if it turns out to be much more than just a small mark on her neck.
Have a happy Valentine's Day, and beware of nibbling Valentine sweethearts. lol
About Flowers and Fangs, "Stake and Dust series, Book II":
Derek Hayes and his family are preternatural hunters. Stake and dust is their motto, but Derek has a difficult time accepting his sworn duty when Sloane McBride, his ex-girlfriend from high school, is the one he's been sent to eliminate. Once infected from a Nosferatu bite, there is no turning back. Sloane has been bitten and she will eventually change.
It proves a race against time when Derek puts aside his core beliefs and teams up with Sloane. The Nosferatu wants Sloane for his own, Derek's brothers are hunting her, and every second brings Sloane closer to changing into the very fiend they want to kill.

Stake and Dust, Book I- These are stand alone stories.
A Lamia, a sea creature worthy of John Keats' prose, teams up with a vampire with serial tendencies. When young promising artists are found dead, the Preternatural Bureau sends Cassandra Hayes to the Hamptons to help a fellow hunter track down this lethal duo. She's only spoken to Mr. Green once on the phone and when she meets him in person, he is not what she expects. His hunting skills are spot on, but there is something the man is hiding, and she's determined to find out what it is despite the attraction developing between them.
Tremayne Graystone, a vampire from one of the oldest septs, is not pleased when he finds a dead hunter left on the doorstep of his pub. He should have never answered the hunter's phone, but someone is trying to frame him and he wants answers. Surely he can masquerade as Mr. Green, the hunter Cassandra is supposed to meet, before she figures out his true identity and stakes him. She's a Hayes, from a long line of vampire hunters, and fraternizing with the enemy is simply not done, but as they work together and follow the clues, the lines become blurred when he falls for the hunter's charms.
